We are looking for a phlebotomist who is willing to attend various health fairs with us and provide free sickle cell trait tests. Locations and times vary. Please sign up for more information.
It’s important to know if you have sickle cell trait. If you and a partner both have trait and you have a baby, there’s a 25% chance your baby will have sickle cell disease. Help us provide this information to our community!
